Contemporary Catskill Lodging

Separation anxiety? We think codependence is a good thing. Are you a family that prefers to stay together? Are you traveling couples that prefer splitting the cost for a cool suite that is less expensive than renting two regular rooms separately? Or do you need to kick your snoring spouse into another bedroom so that you can at least get some gosh darn sleep while on vacation? We’ll throw in some whimsy like taking a bath inside a genie bottle or an illuminated chromatherapy bathtub or a ceiling that lights up like the solar system so that you REALLY don’t feel like you’re in Kansas anymore (not that there’s anything wrong with Kansas...)

There ain’t nothin similar about our eight suites. Each offers some similar and some very different amenities. The Shagadellic is our only suite with a fully-equipped kitchen. Upstairs Downstairs gives you the entire upstairs of the main house and therefore total privacy with no other units next to you. Genie’s Bottle and George’s Spacepad have out-of-this world bathing opportunities (filmed for television by the TLC Network). They also have interior adjoining doors so that a large group can rent out the entire floor. And how do we describe the lofted theme suites in our North Building without being too wordy? We’ll try. As far as The Final Frontier, The Noir Boudoir, and Amadeus’ Bride are concerned, more is more: Two bedrooms and two full baths; a large spiral staircase that takes you to the lofted bedroom and bathroom on the second floor; 85-gallon two-person soaking tubs with dual shower heads; cushy sofabeds that turn the living areas into a third bedroom; great views of the village and mountainscape, okay we’re getting wordy. Oh, and lest we forget, Miss Kitty’s Saloon with its red bordello opulence will bring out a little bit of sinner in all of us. In addition to complimentary breakfast, wireless Internet, fridges, microwaves, coffee machines, A/C, Egyptian cotton towels, telephones with voicemail, and luxury bathroom amenities, the suites also include state-of-the-art flat screen TVs with DVD players, mood lighting, and a bevy of unexpected surprises.

More is more. Boldness is beautiful. Color is king. Drop-kick doilies into the shredder. No Chintz. And Laura Ashley be afraid. Be very very afraid. Designing our suites was a daily meltdown of, “is this too much?” It might be if you’re going to live in it every day, but we feel that vacation is about taking you away from the every day. We say think INSIDE the box, just decorate the hell out of that box! Make it a genie bottle that adjoins into a home in space that rests on top of a cave. Why not?
